Tips

  • Substitute Gruyere or for the blue cheese, if you like.
  • Use a mandoline or the slicing blade of a food processor to easily create uniformly thin potato slices.
  • To be on the safe side I recommend making a taste test after 40 minutes and bake it for a few more minutes when it’s not quite done yet.
  • The potatoes should still have a bit of a bite to them and not be mushy!
